McDonald’s set to exit Kazakhstan following supply chain issues caused by Ukraine war

Russia has historically been Kazakhstan’s main trading partner, with the country facing supply chain issues following the Ukraine crisis

McDonald’s is set to abandon business in Kazakhstan following supply chain disruption triggered by the Ukraine crisis.

Its exit highlights the supply issues faced by many of the country’s businesses in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Western sanctions on Moscow, Bloomberg News reported.

In November, the company was forced to temporarily close its 24 Kazakhstan restaurants – owned by TOO Food Solutions KZ - after cutting ties with Russian meat suppliers.
